Riswanto. 2016. The Implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) through Adobe flash Program on the students’ ability to solve the vibration and waves problem. (Thesis). Palangka Raya: Publicated on IAIN Palangka Raya’s Thesis

ABSTRACT

This research aimed to describe (1) the students’ ability to solve the problems of vibration and waves after implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) through Adobe flash program, (2) the result of students learning after implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) through Adobe flash Program on the topic of vibration and waves (3) the students’ activities after implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) through Adobe flash Program on the topic of vibration and waves.

This research is descriptive quantitative approach. The instrument used was a test problem solving ability, the test result of students’ cognitive learning, the sheets of student observation activities. The research populations are students of the second semester of class VIII MTs Islamiyah Palangka Raya in academic year 2015/2016, the research sample was 21 students of class VIII-D.

The research result indicated (1) based on the test result analysis of student’s ability to solve problems, the average values of pretest is 18.42 and the average values of posttest is 53.79. Based on the gain and N-gain analysis indicated that the students’ ability to solve problems increased after implementing Problem Based Learning Model through Adobe flash program. It obtained a value of 0.43 with the medium category, (2) based on the test result analysis of students’ cognitive learning, the average values of pretest is 39.12 and the average values of posttest is 78.57. Based on the analysis of mastery learning formula individually and classical obtained the student learning mastery individually is 76% and 24% is not the student learning mastery and classical is all of the student learning mastery, based on the analysis of the gain and N-gain indicated that the result of students’ cognitive learning has increased after implementing the Problem Based Learning Model through Adobe flash program included in the medium category with a value of 0.65, (3) the students’ activities in the learning of physics as a whole with Problem Based Learning Model through Adobe flash Programs included in the excellent category with the average value of 85.73%

Key words: Problem Based Learning Model, Adobe flash, Problem solving ability, vibration and waves
